Hello,

Thanks for quick reply.

I have some further queries.

So In case of WD my book live, I need to pay for Smartware pro??

Also, I know that I am the best judge of my requirements but still could you please answer below question.

I have NAS requirement and 1 TB is sufficient for me (Atleast for few years). Considering that My book live have an older hardware, Is it advisable to buy My book live over My Cloud?

Does WD Still manufacturing My book live?

I need a basic NAS, no nefty features
